Wasn’t sorry to see him leave… but was real surprised only a 7th rounder came back to Cards for him. We’ll see.

 

[Dan H]

I was hoping a new staff could flip the switch but I don’t think he has it. Not worried about him turning it around in NY.

 

[Mainstreet]

Another example, the Cardinals have to get better at drafting. It looks like the Cardinals continue to clean house.

What a freaking catastrophe. Chopper is absolutely right that someone decided they either didn't want to be asked about Isaiah Simmons' status week after week or worried that Simmons himself would become a distraction. For all Simmons' limitations he's more valuable than Tanner Vallejo.

Keim was a fool, but people should keep in the back of their minds that the Wizard of Oz got a single 7th round pick for a former top 10 pick who had 4 sacks, 2 INTs, 7 passes defensed, and 2 forced fumbles last year (and is going into a contract year) and a three-time All Pro WR.

Yea ok. Won executive of the year and was the betting odds favorite for exec of the year 10 weeks into the year 2 years ago.

Shows how worthless those awards are

 

[Dayman]

I know it's a tank year and all, but the lack of remaining talent on this defense is still insane.

 

[Dback Jon]

OOF

I’m gonna report everybody that doesn’t use the OOF react

When Monti is fired 2 years from now remember who actually put together winning teams

If this happens, I will remember who hired the GMs and coaches.

just noticed: a 2024 7th rounder


the Monti calculus went like this (i think):

Isiah won't be on the team after this year based on what we have seen --

and since the team declined his 5th year option, he wont figure into the compensatory pick formula, so...........

 

[unseenaz]

he would have been more valuable on the cardinals than a 7th round pick in the pocket...

Mods - can we end up merging this with the other Simmons thread on first page?

It's nice to have everything in one place for future reference.

Probably the likely scenario.

So much for JG talking about him “hitting his mark”, “ getting better” and “ he’s coming along”.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

I would rather have Simmons than a 7th round pick.

 

[Snakester]

Never used right. Could have been another Daryl Washington. When a player doesn’t read and react well you assign him to whatever so he doesn’t have to think. Like cover the back or cover the tight end or blitz the A gap. Putting him as a DB was stupid. I put this on coaching.

 

[football karma]

if it makes anybody feel any better:

that 2020 1st round draft isnt turning out well for most

start at 8 and go down:

some clear winners-- Wirfs, Justin Jefferson, AJ Terrel, Jedrick Wills, CD Lamb

but many disappointments in the next 24 picks or so

premium position theory would have had the Cards taking Wirfs, Wills, Terrel... or CJ Henderson

and to be clear, i dont think the above makes it ok

good drafting teams find serviceable players in mediocre drafts. the 49ers took Brandon Aiuyk late in the round. He would probably be WR1 on this roster for the Cards.

 

[SeattleCard]

Pathetic all around for all involved with drafting and coaching Simmons.

 

[Arz101]

Did Wolf and Gambo, already say how Simmons was not a team player and the organization had to what they did?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Basically this deal is to get rid of a potential distraction for the organization, and potentially give Simmons an opportunity to establish some value.

Agreed.

In 1:15 minutes

 

[RON_IN_OC]

He should be a TE.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

He should be a TE.

Except he can't catch, or run routes
